NNEPRA's Executive Director, Patricia Quinn, was appropriately labeled 'Maine's Track Star' in an article in MaineBiz.

Respected throughout New England and the entire Amtrak system, Ms. Quinn has accomplished much on behalf of the State of Maine, the Downeaster, its station communities and the passengers.

The slide presentation (Adobe PDF file)from the March 16 public meetings is now available for download on the Androscoggin Transportation Resource Center website at: http://www.atrcmpo.org/public/index.cfm?fuseaction=articles.view&id=11958

From the presentation, the whole L/A and beyond expansion plans are contingent on the next phase of Boston-Portland service improvements (7 daily round trips, 2:10 trip time, new or expanded Portland station, etc.) being completed first, at an estimated cost of $120 to $150 million (which apparently includes a required third trainset from Amtrak).
